Inter Milan lead Arsenal in chase for Dzeko

Manchester City could offload Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko in January when Inter Milan come calling.

Manuel Pellegrini has brought Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic to the Etihad since his summer arrival and Dzeko has seen his first-team chances dwindle.

The former Wolsburg man still has a good goal-scoring record for his country and that has not been missed by Inter boss Walter Mazzarri and owner Massimo Moratti, according to reports in Italy.

Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in Dzeko but it seems Inter are at the front of the queue for his services.

Moratti has sold his 70% stake in the Serie A side to a group led by Indonesian Erick Thohir and he will meet with his successor to discuss the best targets for the upcoming transfer window.

Inter are fourth in the league, thanks largely to the goals provided by Rodrigo Palacio but the Argentine forward could do with a worthy partner in the Inter attack to boost the club’s chances of winning the Scudetto.
